The 32-year-old jumped to Sarah’s defence during her time on the show, describing her as a ‘natural being’ that ‘doesn’t need a filter’.

However despite sticking up for her BFF, it turns out Irish beauty Nadine wasn’t so keen on Sarah joining the line-up and actually begged her not to go into the house.

Speaking to The Sun, the singer revealed Sarah called her a few weeks before entering the house to let her know she’d signed up for the series.

‘I was petrified,’ Nadine said.

‘She called to tell me she was doing it and my immediate thing was, “Don’t. Absolutely not. Why? Stop this immediately. Retract, retract. Don’t do it. Just don’t do it. We’ll go on a holiday. I’m going to Spain, come”.’

‘She wanted to do it. And if she’s got it in her mind she’s going to do something, she’s going to go and do it,’ the singer continued.

Nadine might have had her reservations, but the star revealed that she was the only one from the band to wish her luck ahead of her stint on the show – with Cheryl even unfollowing Sarah on Twitter in the lead up to her appearance.

Although it looks like the lack of contact from new mum Chez, as well as Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts came as no big shock to the star, as she added: ‘I’m not surprised.

‘If you don’t like somebody, just be genuine about it. You don’t have to be anything else. I don’t think Sarah’s surprised either, it’s to be expected.’

Eeeek! We won’t be crossing our fingers for a Girls Aloud reunion any time soon, then…
